Aged roller,
Starting its lengthy journey
at a ‘cirque’,
High up in a mountain, a
bowl of snow.
Turquoise power,
Don’t be fooled by the
enticing blue,
An intense force can pluck
huge boulders.
Fluffy carver,
A light dusting of snow, so light,
you think,
Will compact to hard ice and
push mountains aside.
Gentle beast,
A icy river, not fast, just
cold,
Slip to your death, an accumulating
monster.
Purring lion,
Soft and friendly, but
moving stealthily,
And cats have claws perfect
for striations.
Smooth hider,
Vast oceans of flat, silky clouds,
But hidden are crevasses
deep as can be.
Magnificent abrasion,
A mass of beautiful grandeur
so splendid,
Abrasion takes place,
scratching below.
Extended traveller,
Ends up after its tiring journey,
At a grand and superb ‘piedmont’,
